It might already be too late, but stop driving it! You've got an oil flow problem and driving it that way will destroy the transmission in short order.

If you haven't already replaced the anti-drainback check valve with a length of transmission cooler hose, do that. While the line's open, flush the cooler. Do a fluid and filter change, and while you're in there replace the governor pressure sensor and solenoid and adjust the bands. If these things don't fix it, it's rebuild time.

When my tranny blew, it felt like someone lightly rear ended me. Then it started to rev high. It ended up being the planetary gears. They were shredded to bits and pieces. If you lived close to me in Cali, I'd have no problem giving you a hand. Best of luck bud.
